EU leaders promised to tackle migration crisis

DZIQ 990 AMEuropean Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and other EU leaders repeated their promises to tackle the migration crisis and stop more Mediterranean deaths with greater funding. Austria has proposed setting up refugee centers in north African countries with the help of international agencies and despite their initial agreement, there would not be anything like that in Libya. The Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbot whose government introduced tough measures to turn back asylum-seeker’s boats, said that the European Union should follow suit, describing it as the only way to end deaths at sea. He also added that the European Union should follow their example.

Europe must unite to solve migration problem

 

DZIQ 990 AMA smuggler’s boat crammed with hundreds of people overturned off Libya’s coast as rescuers approached, causing what could be the Mediterranean’s deadliest known migrant tragedy and intensifying pressure on the European Union Sunday to finally meet demands for decisive action. Italian Premier Matteo Renzi said his authorities were “not in a position to confirm or verify” how many were on board when the boat set out from Libya. Eighteen ships joined the rescue effort, but only 28 survivors and 24 bodies had been pulled from the water by nightfall. With yesterday’s tragedy, demands for decisive action were going mainstream as authorities from France, Spain, Germany and Britain joined calls for a unified response.
